Skincare is one of the highest-consideration categories in e-commerce. Shoppers research thoroughly, read reviews carefully, and are highly influenced by experiences from people with similar skin types and concerns. A generic star rating captures none of this nuance.
1. What is your skin type?
Dropdown: Oily / Dry / Combination / Normal / Sensitive. This single field transforms your review display. A prospective buyer with dry skin can filter or scan for reviews from people like them — and a glowing review from a fellow dry-skin user is far more persuasive than any review from an unspecified skin type.
2. How did your skin feel after using this?
Attribute rating (1–5): Hydrated / Balanced / Irritated / Greasy. Breaking the single 'satisfaction' rating into specific attributes gives you actionable product data. If your hydration scores are 4.8 but 'Greasy' scores are 2.1, you have a product formulation insight — not just a star rating.
3. How long before you noticed results?
Dropdown: Immediately / After 1 week / After 2–4 weeks / After 1 month+. This manages expectations for new customers and helps your brand understand real-world efficacy timelines. It's also one of the most searched questions in skincare — and surfacing real answers in your reviews answers it before the shopper even has to look.
4. Would you recommend this for your skin concern?
Checkboxes: Anti-aging / Acne-prone / Hyperpigmentation / Redness / Dryness / General hydration. This maps reviews to use cases. Your PDP can then surface reviews filtered by concern — a shopper worried about redness sees reviews from people specifically addressing redness.
5. How does this compare to your previous routine?
Short text or rating: Better / About the same / Worse. This is your secret competitive weapon. A high 'Better than previous routine' score is a direct conversion signal for shoppers on the fence about switching. It's also data your product team should be tracking monthly.
